2 Chronicles 24:18

The Wickedness of Joash

17After the death of Jehoiada, however, the officials of Judah came and paid homage to the king, and he listened to them.18They abandoned the house of the LORD, the God of their fathers, and served the Asherah poles and idols. So wrath came upon Judah and Jerusalem for this guilt of theirs.19Nevertheless, the LORD sent prophets to bring the people back to Him and to testify against them; but they would not listen.
